Remembering Sadie Way,

Thinking about Sadie Way brings sweet special memories to my heart. Her soft and firm voice always displayed a sound of concern and care. Sadie´s wisdom had a way of making reality set in even when you are in denial. Just the thought of Sadie lifts my spirit when turmoil is on the rise. Sadie will always hold a special place in my heart and never will she be forgotten. We BOND forever and ALWAYS!!
With Love,

Delores
